Description

In book one of this classic gay pirate historical, originally published in the 1970s, the young Englishman Alan Steele yearns for adventure and a seafaring life. Even if the reality doesn't quite match up to his fantasies, there's still plenty of romance, danger and the tantalizing promise of wealth for a young man willing to take risks.

From Bristol, England to Spanish plantations in the Caribbean, Alan and his new friends Henry, Malcolm and Morgan go from cabin boys to captains packing lifetimes full of love, sex, injustice and rebellion into a few years, emerging tough—yet still tender—men who know what (and who) they want.

Pirates of the Caribbean has nothing on this rollicking novel of young men and the sea!

The book is a good read revolving around Adam and his two friends and their experience as indentured aboard ship and the harsh surroundings they learn to survive in. It also tells of their being separated and Adam’s adventures until he is brought back into contact with Malcolm and they rekindle there long separated passions. This story is continued in the next book.

This book was well written and very fun to read. The characters were great and I enjoyed the world building. The author does a great job at introducing the characters and moving the plot along. There were a few things that I didn't like, but it wasn't enough to really sway me one way or the other. It's definitely a story that I can get lost in and both feel for the characters. It is definitely a go-to novel that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a great read. Definitely a highly recommended read that I think everyone will enjoy.
